It’s becoming increasingly difficult to get a job these days, what with an ever-growing population and more and more roles being filled by automated machines.

Consider, then, how hard it is when you’re living with a disability. Sadly, in some walks of life, those who have disabilities find it even harder to find employment than the average person.
